Someone said, "I must say, the list of twenty-four citizens is quite thorough. I pondered for a long time but couldn't think of anything that wasn't included... However, I think some could be merged into merchants and craftsmen... For example, with the miscellaneous theater, if there are few people, let it count as craftsmen, but if it's a theater troupe, it should be considered part of merchants. What do you think?"
"... I think it's inappropriate; if we do that, it becomes difficult to differentiate. It's better to classify it under miscellaneous theater."
"But the officials within craftsmen are counted within scholars, so why can't miscellaneous theater be classified the same way?"
The crowd had completely forgotten the question raised by the examinee and were now discussing the division of twenty-four citizens, whether the categorization is reasonable, and if there's a better way to classify them.
